Our present picture of cell membranes as lipid bilayers is the legacy of a century's study that concentrated on the lipids and proteins of cell-surface membranes. Recent work is changing the ...

A supported lipid bilayer containing GPI-Nlg was formed on the flat glass bottom of a microchamber onto which Nrx-expressing cells were dropped.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Bilayer lipid membrane is a basic structure of cell membranes which are highly sensitive biosensors for chemical, optical and mechanical stimuli. The characteristic features of bilayer lipid membranes ...

Lipid molecules have split personalities—one part loves water, whereas the other avoids it at all costs. Lipids make up cell membranes, the frontline defense in preventing cellular access to ...

Unexpected asymmetry in lipid bilayer challenges understanding of mammalian cell membranes Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new ...

Thus, unsaturated lipids of the lipid bilayer play a critical role in the Lp-IO system to initiate intrabilayer lipid peroxidation and induce tumor cell ferroptosis.

An enzyme that flips lipids from the outer to the inner layer of the cell membrane launches the process that permits cells to engulf external substances.

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

These viral proteins are then transported to another part of the cell called the Golgi apparatus which encloses them in lipid (fatty) bilayers.
